Reggie and Doherty were ineffective again today, loads of effort and running and fight but they are weak links.
We have some elite players* who receive the ball perfectly with the right body shape, have already looked left and right and worked out what to do, they turn in complete balance and lay the ball perfectly into the path of someone else so they don't have to break stride as they run onto the ball.
Reggie and Doherty are the opposite; they fight, run, hack, try, do their best, pass towards a player's general direction but often at waist height or behind them or where they are immediately going to get challenged. They are not awful but are way behind these Rolls Royce players.
*e.g. Kane, Bentancur, Deki, Romero and then a big gap to Son Hojbjerg Dier Davies and then a Grand Canyon to Reggie and Doc. They try, but they are not elite.
